Baby Bunnies!!!

Aren't they the cutest?!?!

George's Mom and sister rescued several rabbits from the park a few weeks ago.... they already had 18 at the house so what is a few more, right?(all rescue bunnies)   2 days later, one of them had babies.  The bunnies are now 2 weeks old and absolutely precious.  Irelyn is in love and visits them and helps care for them every few days.

Butterflies

If you have never watched caterpillars turn into butterflies you must do it.  Your kids will love it.
Irelyn received a butterfly kit from my parents for Christmas and a few weeks later 2 containers of caterpillars arrived in the mail. 

Here are the caterpillars after they formed chrysalids(don't ask me why it's not cocoon). See them hanging on the right side?

Ready to release

I saw a kit at Lakeshore the other day for $30 and you only received 5 caterpillars.  This kit was from Costco, bigger and cheaper, and Irelyn received 10 caterpillars.  Try Insect Lore and see if you can get a better deal.

My sister in law Julie is so creative!!  She always plans the best birthday parties for her kids and Laurens 6th party was super fun

It was an everything but sleeping slumber party. 

jammies, crafts, movies, food...a bunch of girls having fun :)

Happy New Year! 2010

We started New Years Eve with an extremely exciting soccer game.  George is coaching Boys Soccer at CDMHS and the team was in the finals against our Alma Mater-MVHS.  We were at the fields that George and I met at over 14 years ago.  Man... I feel old!

I'm so proud of George for excelling as a coach and for his dedication to the players on his teams.

I hope 2010 brings you much love and joy

Disney on Ice

If you ever get the chance to go to Disney on Ice you must go!  We went the day after Christmas and we LOVED it.  Our seats were really great and Irelyn was so excited when TinkerBell came over and waved right at her :)

How is it the middle of December already??  Time is flying...but this is my most favorite time of the year.  George will be home now on the weekends and evenings for the next 3 months..such a wonderful break for him (and us).  Enjoy this time with your family :)

A day at Disneyland

We had one of the best days ever at Disneyland today.  No lines!, the kids were able to sit with the driver of the Monorail, and Irelyn was in part of a show.  They dressed her as Frosty!

After the show she said that she loved when the audience clapped for her.   :)
